I'm sorry be that comment, but Ricky is seriously under rated, he's putting in so much work\content for us to enjoy.. For real man he deserves more recognition🙌
underrated ? he don't do nout. He sits in passenger seat of other car peoples cars , He gets other people to work on he's projects ect and Runs a soon tobe Illegal in Uk gambling site by offering a "stupid Question" and a "chance" to win a car. #RealTalk.
100% agree. Front end is so much more direct and the steering weights up with speed and turning effort. Added caster really helps the self centring/steering effect too.
Who remembers Kevin when he shit up Mike Brewer in Germany testing driving an e30 m3 😂. Good to see Kos now working at Birds, his e24 is a beauty!. Good vid as usual Ricky 👌
I had birds fit an LSD to my m240i 3 weeks after I bought the car. Such a great service and they fitted it in a flash. Never looked back. I’ve done other mods since but the diff is mandatory to finishing the car off.
Had a B1 full kit with LSD done a few year's back fixed the problems you mentioned even at 30mph if you hit a drain cover. As the original Birds article said, turned the car from 1 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive, with the Quaife LSD.
B12 sport kit on my e90, transformed the car, one of the best handling cars I’ve driven, shame the newer BMWs have lost that steering feel and handling aspect
Great video, I had a stage 3a s14a that I put nismo s-tune suspension on that was developed for the car. That was a damper set up and I had whiteline arbs. The coilover boys would not see were I went on a b road. So pleased, I did the same when i bought an e46 m3. Same again, a bilstien damper kit you could get for that, and again, great road car, good everywhere speed bump friendly. Yes you dont get the "stance" with only a sublte drop on both but they really worked well. Dont get seduced by coilovers they are not the only option.
Ricky smashing it as always but I’m loving these reaction vids n chases maybe do a live stream reaction on here for even 20 mins ? I reckon it would be wicked and deffo jokes
Looks like a nice set-up. I prefer shocks and springs for the roads any days they just have a better car feel on the rubbish surface's. Especially when you have spent the money on new one ones or something like these uprated ones. I currently running bilsteins as I like to stay German on my 46. That's looks a sweet garage too. I've been in the BMW seceme for 15yrs plus (Started with the fords and vdubs) they always get a mention but never seen how nice their workshop is. A sound knowledgeable guy is key too. Being in the trade too There aren't many places that I'd take a car. I can forgive he made us miss the workshop work and start up. Give him the camera next time Ricky or get food orders in 👌
I have this package on my 330d e92 funny thing is its actually 10mm lower than the M sport suspension I literally have a 5mm arch gap on the car but it handles better than M cars on uk B roads
The suspension kit is around £1550, if you want a similar let up for less then the Bilstein B12 kit can be had for around £550. The diff is around £1800.
@@mralekos I felt the same with my Birds B1 install on my m140, in fact it looked to sit higher than stock which I couldn't get on with and after trying to live with it for a while eventually kept the B1 dampers and bump stops and replaced springs with Motech Eibachs, after which it looked spot on and still handles great on the road.
@@samtrex600 Ricky’s car will be higher because of the 19’s. But from centre of axle to arch it would be stock. Occasionally they do go up a fraction (talking a couple of mm’s) but that’s on cars that have done more than 50,000 miles, springs to sag with age and use and dampers start to fail. The motec eibachs are the same as off the shelf Eibachs.
@@mralekos not true in my case, my car had done 9k miles when I had it done. After I raised the issue (no pun intended)James even confirmed that the batch of springs being used at did seem to sit higher, it is a shame as I had the B1 on an m135i and it sat perfectly, probably 10mm lower than stock. Anyway its no big deal, my fault for not asking about ride height impact before getting it done. The car still drives brilliantly with the B1 dampers, Quaife LSD and Motech Eibachs.
Birds mine and had absolutely no grip car was all over the place phoned them and they then tried to say it was tyres lol took it to 2 independent specialist and also BMW who said it was wound too tight. So one wheel should be going one way and one the other way with a quaife but both wheels were going in same direction. Waste of time and money. Quaife ripped out and M Performance put in
@@GolfRJ slow down muttock - I don’t watch all the videos just the car ones. Especially ones saying ‘quitting RU-vid - no click bait’ when it appears he is not quitting RU-vid and has just decided to create a new channel. I shall however, un sub LLF and sub to this one seeing as this is where his content is being directed. I like Rickys car content and car features. Still curious why the plates come off the Mac onto a one series. Are we not allowed to ask Ricky questions without a little minion piping up? You could have just kept scrolling - it ain’t hard
RU-vid have stopped recommending his videos so even if you are subbed to LLF it's rare if u recieve a notification so he's taking a break from that channel for a while..don't blame him tho all the hours of filming and editing that go into that channel ..RU-vid have done this to many well known channels in the last 7months ..I'm sure many more will feel it soon
He has been uploading on this channel for months now..I'm not unsubbing llf tho as I'm hoping he will figure it out..as for the Mac...he did a video explaining that also.
